Playbill hosts a special virtual red carpet for the new work by Lourds Lane.
SuperYou, the new musical that last year pivoted from its traditional opening to a drive-in concert in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, is now heading online. A filmed version of the drive-in presentation streams on Broadway On Demand March 5.
Prior to the 8 PM stream, Playbill hosts a free, virtual red carpet event, with interviews with the cast and creative team. A digital after-party will also take place at 9 PM. Come back here to watch the pre-show on YouTube beginning at 7:30 PM.
The musical, penned by Lourds Lane, tells the story of a woman and her superheroine creations that suddenly come to life, reminding her of the power of her own voice. The Joann M. Hunter-helmed production was slated to open at the Daryl Roth Theatre Off-Broadway in May of last year. One month later, as the coronavirus pandemic kept theatres shuttered, the drive-in version played Amenia, New York, for two nights, with the cast performing on the backs of five pick-up trucks.
